KAI Shun Series

The Shun chef's knife series is one of the most extensive Damascus knife series in the world and is highly favored by culinary elites and ambitious home cooks. Shun professional chef's knives are made from a specially developed, rust-resistant Damascus steel with 32 layers. The inner layer consists of VG MAX steel. This steel is extremely corrosion-resistant, very hard (61±1 HRC, 1.0% carbon, 1.5% cobalt), and keeps the blade sharp for a long time with proper care. The convex grind of the blade, combined with the manual honing of each Shun knife, results in an unparalleled sharpness that allows the knife to glide effortlessly through even the toughest ingredients. This sharpness, paired with the balanced weight of the knives, enables fatigue-free working.

Each Shun knife gains a unique and individual character through the refinement of the naturally beautiful Damascus grain. This makes each individual Shun knife a distinctive one-of-a-kind piece—a work of art that combines craftsmanship, technology, and design. The technique derived from Japanese samurai sword forging for producing the finest chef's knives is also adapted in the Shun chef's knife series for the production of Western blade shapes.

Paring Knife

The convex grind of the paring knife blade creates a unique sharpness that allows the paring knife to glide through even the toughest ingredients. This sharpness, combined with the balanced weight of the paring knife, enables fatigue-free working. The paring knife is used for the clean preparation of ingredients, which are then cut with the chef's knife.
